World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner is set to face a hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on April 16 and 17, 2025. The hearing will address doping allegations against him, following an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
In March 2024, Sinner tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid clostebol twice. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) cleared him of any wrongdoing in August 2024, accepting his explanation that the substance entered his system unintentionally through a spray used by his physiotherapist to treat a cut. However, WADA appealed this decision, seeking a ban of one to two years.
The CAS hearing will be conducted behind closed doors at its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. No parties have requested a public hearing. Sinner, who has consistently maintained his innocence, expressed his disappointment and surprise at WADA’s appeal.
Despite the ongoing case, Sinner has continued to compete at the highest level. He successfully defended his Australian Open title and won the US Open in 2024. However, the allegations have undoubtedly taken a toll on him, affecting his mental state and performance.
The outcome of the CAS hearing will be crucial for Sinner’s career. A potential ban could significantly impact his future in tennis. As the tennis world awaits the verdict, Sinner remains focused on his game, hoping to clear his name and continue his successful career.
This is the communicate.
